Migratory movements and the presence of immigrants
in our societies are at the centre of political and media
attention in Europe. In a context in which xenophobic
parties have alarmingly increased their support base and
where rumors and false or biased news are skewing the
public debate on migration, it is particularly urgent and
important that civil society, institutions and the media
have substantiated and verifiable information. Promoting
and disseminating scientific knowledge on migratory
phenomena is one of the main purposes of the Tenerife
Immigration Observatory.
